Love Is A Weapon
If hate won't bite it
And we can't fight it
Then let us love it
As we rise above it
It can't make sense of it
It has no defense from it
If we lovingly engage it
It will surely enrage it
And we can't fight it
Then let us love it
As we rise above it
It can't make sense of it
It has no defense from it
If we lovingly engage it
It will surely enrage it

The Blue Tube
Some dreams are more than dreams.
Some 25 years ago I 'dreamed' this. It is an exact description, for I remember every detail.
It is a bright chilly day and I am walking in the parking lot of the apartment building where I live and am almost at my car door when a very loud metallic clang rings out, akin to the sound of a sledge crashing into an anvil. I look up and towards the west from where the noise came and see the horizon turn white and then in a flash everything turns white.
I wake up naked in a transparent tube with a bluish hue....

Reflection
I have read all the books I need to read?
I have fed all the mouths I need to feed?
I have bled all the blood I need to bleed?
I have deseeded all the seed I need to deseed?
I have pleaded all the pleas I need to plead?
I have needed all the need I need to need?
I have fed all the mouths I need to feed?
I have bled all the blood I need to bleed?
I have deseeded all the seed I need to deseed?
I have pleaded all the pleas I need to plead?
I have needed all the need I need to need?

ZAP
I became aware. It was a gradual awakening, dimly dimly at first and perhaps best described as slowly becoming aware that I was becoming aware.
Where am I, what is going on, who am I, those were my first coherent thoughts and one came after the other and so I noticed that time was a thing. It was my second discovery,
the first realizing that I was. I saw nothing, I heard nothing, I sensed nothing except the passing of time, a reality which quickly became intolerable to me.
I am in some sort of captivity, I deduced, I have to break free. Something had confined me...

Enemy
Fucking cancer
I hate you with my life
You tried to get me
Nearly got my darling wife
I won't let you
Even view my loving son
Stars forbid you
From having your evil fun
I despise you
You had your go at me
I am your enemy
Your mistakes are costly
I wage war on you
You will know my will
You think you know
What it means to kill
Fuck you into eternity
My fury has zero bounds
I will have you kneel
Before frothing hell hounds
I hate you with my life
You tried to get me
Nearly got my darling wife
I won't let you
Even view my loving son
Stars forbid you
From having your evil fun
I despise you
You had your go at me
I am your enemy
Your mistakes are costly
I wage war on you
You will know my will
You think you know
What it means to kill
Fuck you into eternity
My fury has zero bounds
I will have you kneel
Before frothing hell hounds

Man In Flame
It is how and why it came
Nothing could be same
Without
Man In Flame
Power scores couldn't tame
Time will hide a name
Within
Man In Flame
Sans glory sans shame
Sans infamy sans fame
Inside
Man In Flame
Coming move in a game
Opposed cannot maim
Outside
Man In Flame
The world in a frame
It was ultimate aim
Until
Man In Flame
No one made a claim
All shared in blame
Since
Man in flame
Nothing could be same
Without
Man In Flame
Power scores couldn't tame
Time will hide a name
Within
Man In Flame
Sans glory sans shame
Sans infamy sans fame
Inside
Man In Flame
Coming move in a game
Opposed cannot maim
Outside
Man In Flame
The world in a frame
It was ultimate aim
Until
Man In Flame
No one made a claim
All shared in blame
Since
Man in flame

Owner Of My Heart
I was lost in a nightmare of my own making
I knew I had to find some way through
My heart and soul were there for the taking
I thank the stars that the taker was you
You say
Any less is too little any more is too much
And I say
Only you can heal me with a mere touch
I knew I had to find some way through
My heart and soul were there for the taking
I thank the stars that the taker was you
You say
Any less is too little any more is too much
And I say
Only you can heal me with a mere touch

What Is
What is living what is dying
What is laughing what is crying
What is releasing what is holding
What is praising what is scolding
What is hope what is despair
What is just what is unfair
What is world what is space
What is foot what is face
What is silence what is noise
What is polarity what is poise
What is hell what is heaven
What is zero what is seven
What is is what is was
What is result what is cause
What is hunter what is prey
What is night what is day
What is fast what...
What is laughing what is crying
What is releasing what is holding
What is praising what is scolding
What is hope what is despair
What is just what is unfair
What is world what is space
What is foot what is face
What is silence what is noise
What is polarity what is poise
What is hell what is heaven
What is zero what is seven
What is is what is was
What is result what is cause
What is hunter what is prey
What is night what is day
What is fast what...

From The Deep
Do you know what it's like to have nowhere to go?
And the answer to every desperate question is no
And some people you love turn their backs to you
And there's no solution you don't know what to do
And if you venture outside you're met with evil eyes
And the words that you speak are contemptible lies
And when you look in the mirror you ache so bad
And you think of your losses and all that you had
And you don't want to live but you don't want to die
And with lust for revenge shake your fist at the sky
And you find you are not the same man as...
And the answer to every desperate question is no
And some people you love turn their backs to you
And there's no solution you don't know what to do
And if you venture outside you're met with evil eyes
And the words that you speak are contemptible lies
And when you look in the mirror you ache so bad
And you think of your losses and all that you had
And you don't want to live but you don't want to die
And with lust for revenge shake your fist at the sky
And you find you are not the same man as...

Megaphone
I tear up so easy
Easy peasy
It's just the way I am
An emotional man
Am told I should hide it
And to fight it
But you know I never can
To always think aloud
Is not allowed
It's just the way I am
An automatic man
Am told not to do it
To think through it
But you know I never can
I tend to speak my mind
That's so unkind
It's just the way I am
A megaphonic man
Am told to hold it back
The fierce attack
But you know I never can
I am a terrible teaser ...
